Samsung launches Galaxy Lock: Six things you should know
Launched by Samsung, Galaxy Lock is a remote lock solution that uses Knox protection to remotely lock your Galaxy smartphone in a simple and fast way. Using it, your Samsung consumers in Brazil get an extra layer of security that protects personal and sensitive data from malicious use by third parties.
The Galaxy Lock, developed by Samsung in partnership with Paymobi, offers the possibility of completely blocking a smartphone through a call or access to a website, from any device, using only the CPF or CNPJ number and a password defined by itself.
With the blocking, all access to applications within the smartphone, including those that can be exploited in scams, are disabled. All banking, social networking and messaging apps are protected on the smartphone when the lock is in effect.

Samsung will reveal the third-gen GAA applied in the 2nm (SF2) process at the VLSI Symposium 2024 BusinessKorea reports. The company will likely commence mass production based on its next-gen (2nm) fabrication process next year.
High production costs and economic downturn benefitted TSMC in 3nm products. Apple’s latest chip is fabricated on a 3 nanometer process node, while the latest Snapdragon chips still utilize 4nm tech. Meanwhile, Samsung aims for third-gen GAA to apply in the 2nm process.
Well, Taiwan’s TSMC is also targeting GAA technology for 2nm products. Faster adoption and production are expected to push Samsung Foundry to gain clients. Competitive pricing would also benefit it bringing back consumers like Qualcomm for Snapdragon.
Samsung GAA
Samsung’s GAA is a next-gen transistor technology, which regulates and amplifies or switches off the flow of current within a semiconductor. It features a redesigned transistor architecture to overcome problems like current flow in smaller semiconductors to improve power efficiency.
